Rmoney buys a factory in China that uses child slave labor -Only RM covered it...

Rachel led the show 2 days ago that covered it..But thats it that I have seen.

Has anyone else seen this being mentioned on MSM??

Frankly I think this is the worst of the whole tape-He believes the factory owners story of the barb wire keeping the 10-13 YO girls from breaking in & taking jobs is beyond laughable...The asshat is overlooking not just slave labor but also what is likely a haven for child abuse of all sorts-

Does he really believe the factory has adult supervisors with young girls as literal slaves-and there is nothing more to it??

Yeah-no girls ever get raped by adults in position of power-in this case nearly unlimited power as the employer/housing/food supplier for these young girls.

I wish a news outlet would go to China & do an actual expose on the conditions there...

He said they visited it to see if they wanted to invest in it. He did not say whether they bought an interest in it.

"The Boston Globe suggested that the factory may be part of Global Tech, a Chinese appliances company that Bain invested in in 1998. While the nature of the company’s ownership is unclear, the Obama campaign has suggested Global Tech was the factory Romney was referring to in recent statements accusing the Republican nominee of hypocrisy for pledging to crack down on Chinese trade violations. Essentially, they’re daring Romney to deny his involvement."

In a previous life I'm sure he was a Deep South plantation owner. Nuff said.
